Dude, there are like many many songs I love. But I guess I'll limit 2 per artist I enjoy. And the sound I'll give ya is 'smooth but kickin w/ vocals'.

DJ Mystik: WARNING! Albums are a continuous mix - This artist has 33 albums out with music ranging from mixes to originals and sucky to excellent. Definately a hit or miss kind of guy.

4 Ever One - 09 - Into The Blue(had to add that one, every time I hear this song I wanna [censored] the singer, her voice is that sexy)

4 Ever One - 07 - I See Stars.mp3(fit my criteria perfectly)

Robert Miles: Albums are a continuous mix, but does have some closure between songs - Once a classical piano player, he switched to trance and keyboard. All originals, music ranges from good to genius. Many of his sounds are inspiration in other DJ's music. Very much a true trance artist who puts a lot of feeling in his music.

Dreamland - 01 - Children (Dream Version)(no vocals and doesn't kick, however, this is a very popular song of his that was also remixed by Darude in 'Children of the Sandstorm')

23 AM - 03 - Everyday Life(truly terrific song with excellent vocals and a very large variety of sounds from smooth to kickin.)

Unknown Artist:Phantom of the Opera (Techno Dance Mix) 3.77 MB (3,957,504 bytes)(do a search for this. It's a truly monumental mix for a monumental song. Very very excellent vocals with indescribable music.)

Voice of Buddha - Voice of Buddha creates CD's of various artists. The 'Progressive Goa Trance' album holds the essence of the best Goa - my favorite style - has to offer. No vocals.

Mindless Self Indulgence is a band i started listening to recently, and they are more addictive than any other band. Deftones used to be my favorite band, but now I am not sure. They are sort of electronic, but with sort of rock, a little rap, and crazy vocals.

LTJ Bukem has some nice stuff.

The Dust Brothers, Liam Howlett live stuff is good. Mostly i don't like the electronica side of music though. I call it all techno anyway, but usually I think of dance when i hear electronica and most dance i don't like.

I thought Chemical Brothers and Dust Brothers were completely different dudes? /me goes to check names and compare....

CB = Thomas Owen Mostyn Rowlands and Edmund John Simons

DB = Michael Simpson and John King

I think what I just read, said that The Chemical Brothers used to be called the Dust brothers but got legal advice to stop it.

So how well do they do? Well, put it this way: this album makes it clear why the Chemical Brothers used to call themselves the Dust Brothers, back before they received legal advice that this may be a really bad idea. Well, unless they wanted to be sued and kicked to death. After all, if you were going to [censored] yourself of as any of the major proponents of modern producer-made music, it would be this pair. They finally teach the world what producers do: everything.

haha. Yeah, that pissed me off. I liked parts of their songs, and of course Cure For The Itch was the best. I thought alot of their lyrics were amateurish, but instrumental versions of their songs (like so many other bands...cough limp bizkit) would rule I think.

To me, putting out a remix cd second is, as Imp said, just milking it. Kinda "dissin" the fans that they managed to grab.

i hate trance. Jungle and trip hop/acid jazz are good. If i could recomend some music it would have to be DJ Shadow, anything from ninja tune records http://www.ninjatune.com check out xen cuts artist like dj vadim, coldcut, cut chemist, other artist form other labels that are good roni size, DJ mark farina's mushroom jazz is good [censored]. If you like turntablists the the executioners, invisible scratch picklez, dj qbert, the allies, mix master mike, the beat junkies, short kut, roc raida, dan the automater. Well this list gets a little of the base of electronica, but its deffinately not rock n roll and it aint rap, so start those file sharing search engines up.

I started listening to DJ Shadow and DJ Short Kut (as it said in the mp3, I don't know if it is just short kut like you said) before I formatted, and that was awesome stuff. I like stuff with heavy bass, and nice turntables. Really complex and fast drumbeats rule, but slower stuff is good too. (Clubbed to Death by Rob D on The Matrix Soundtrack is awesome.)
